BILL WADE.
Another Member ofthe Notorus Gang Captured
and Placed i'm the County Jail.

Night before last Bill Wade, the last of the
notorious Wade brothers gang was brought
to the city and placed behind the bars at the
county jail.
He is m mber of the same gang as Jim
Wade and Doc Cronk, who were sentenced
by Judge F. ster at the last term of the
United States district court to the state PEN
itentiary. Bill was also wanted on nine diff
fe -ent charges, but he was then reported
dead. So he was considered by all, even by
members of his own family, and many were
not inclined to believe him alive, even after
his reported capture
He is about Fix feet high, broad shouldered
and weli-formed specimen of humanity. He
has brown hair and whiskers and not an I'm
pleasant face. He appears to be in the very
best Of humor, answering kindly and pleas
anti, questions put to him he says he has
been roaming aroun1 over Missouri for the
past year. managing, however, to keep out
of the way Of the authorities He was
finally run down in Bent county, Mis-
souri,, by Marshal Wheeler, of st.
Louis. After his arrest he was
taken first to st. Louis and from there
brought here to await his trial before the
U. s. district court in Sept Der. He says
that as far as he knows there are but three
charges againss him; two for selling whisky
and one for stealing horses.

PACKING sOUSE.

1t will be RENE mbeD ed that near two
weeks ago Mr. Ham, of Kansas City, mem
Der of the packing firm of Ham & Walcer,
was in the city looking over the facilities for
starting in a packing enterprise. AT that
time he gave the city thorous h looking
over end decided to locate. He returned to
Kansas City with his favorable report and
soon got his partner of the same opinion. As
result Mr. Ham has returned to the city
for taking immediote steps for the enter
prise Wednesday he looked over the loca-
ton sou b of the city and decided that that
was the place desired. He bought forty
acres of land from Mr.. Kincaid, paying for
the same $4,000. The papers were signed
yesterday.
The company propose to put in a
plant having a capacity of five hun
dred hogs per day. 1t is thought
however, that the company will not work
over one-fifth capacity This will give en-
ploymeIt from the beginning to about fifty
hands 1t is believed that this number will
be incr ased very soon as the trade will de-
mand it.
A company for the operation of the plant
is being formed with capital stock of $780,
600. A part of the stock is being subscribed
by business men in the city. The machinery
and building will probably cost half that
amount.
An effort will be made to get buildings
completed in as short time as possible 1t
is hoped to get the plant ready for business
by the first of December.
The gentlemen who are at the head of the
en- terprise have for some years been engaged
in the packing business in Kansas City.
Near a month ago they sold their plant in
that city and came to Wichita, feeling conf
dent that they have chances for better
business. They come to the city not asking
even land donated for site. They went at
their work quietly and those who know them
have confidence in them

DEATH OE John BERRY.

John Berry died at his residence, POI South
Fourth avenue, at 6 o'clt ok last evening of
malarial fever. Mr.. Berry was born in
Sheffield, England and was about fifty years
old. He leaves a wife and four children to
mourn his departure. The oldest, Mrs. Anna
Williams, lives at Attica. Kansas The time
of burial has not yet been determined The
funeral will likely take place some time to
morrow. John Berry had many good Iali-
ties and has many warm friends in this city
and county. For many years he
has been connected with the City Mills.
A large part of the time he bought
wheat for the firm and nearly every farmer
in this county knew John Berry. We all
have our faults, and perhaps John Berry had
his, but when the grave closes over him an
honest man will be contained therein. Mrs.
Berry will have the sympathy of all who
know her in this hour of her sffiiction. No
truer or better woman ever lived than she
John Berry, since his marriage, has sailed
round the world on an English ship. He has
now made the last voyage.

WHO TOOK THE RIG.

In yesterdays EAGLE appeared an account
of the robbery of the horse and carriage OF
Mrs. Farnum from before the residence of
o'clock the evening before A reference was
also made to the statements of a little girl
in the police court seeking assistance Of
Judge Dixon to have girl named Brandt
elected from the tent of her father, Bill
Doran.
AS soon as the robbery had been committed
Mr.. Farnum was notified and he with Mar
shall Haines started in pursuit of the thieves.
They went as far north as Valley Center, but
after few hours search they returned to
the city without hearing anything of the
stolen property. Yesterday morning he re-
sumed his Sc arch in the city and about IL
o'clock had the coed fortune to
find his property at Healy's
livery stable corner Of Fourth and Pine
Upon questioning the hostler he was in
formed that late the evening before lad by
the name Of Doran brought the rig there
night In the morning the boy returned and
said that his father wanted the outfit to go
up north The hostler refused to give up the
horse until paid for the stabling. The boy
left, and a few moments afterwards Mr..
Farnum and Mr.. George entered the stable,
and the outht being identified was turned
over TO the owner Obtaining a description
of the boy they succeeded in tracking him to
his fathers tent on NJ. M MuIdocks place.
When the youth was confronted by Mr.. Far
mum and Officer Barlow, whom Mr.. Far
mum had called to his assistance, he
confessed that he had taken the
horse and carriage but absolutely refused to
implicate his father or any one else in the
theft The father who is the proprietor of
the stove repair works at eco 2 North
Main was not at home, and the officer
could not by threats or pursuasion induce
those at the tent to tell his whereabouts
1t appears, however, that the little fellow
was anxious to rid his mother and his home
of the presence of the obnoxious female;
and, SO, he appropriated the first rig not in
use that he saw upon the street, He took it
to Healey's livery stable intending to carry
out his purpose the next day but he found
in the livery mans bill an obstacle that en-
trely tnwarted his plans and restored the
to the owner.

VIEWING THE SITUATION.

1t seems that it did not take long for the
news to go east that the Burton car works
would be out up in Wichita. The news had
Strengthening influence for Wichita. One
gentleman yesterday recs ived dispatch
from Boston company to invest S4S, 600 for
the company Immediately ,andalso stated that
he would be teles raphed $4,000 more today.
A number of other dispatches Of a similar
character were IT ceived One gentleman
from Cincinnati says, Draw on me for S25,
coo for investment in " ichita." All seem to
think that such an eItel prise secuI ed is of
no little value to the city, an speaks well
for the city. One man tie egraphed
that a town that could get up the
5000, 900 and land required in so short notice
was rot dead, so invest $1,000 for him.
All the talk yesterday was concerning site
Any one who was supposed to know where
the plant would be located had quite a num-
Der of intimate friends. He was besieged on
all sides by his kind friends no were exceed
ingly kind and agreeable on the occasion.
The questions propounded were dandes
The smarties are beginning to bob up again
for pointers. They are pricking up
their ears, and in few cases
trying to make it appear that they knew all
about the situation, and could with certainty
pick out the exact location and pick out the
property benefited.
All the while the work is going on for To-
cation bids The three sections are getting in
some good work. None want it to be known
how strong they are represented. 'Steal a
march" on their opponents seems to be the
program

blocks.
A number of parties in this city have Civ
en- orders for residence lighting and plants

Der of orders were received some months
ago and in the ordering Of apparatus some
mistake was made delaying operations for
some time. The delay was very unpleasant
for the company but could not be avoided.

the present plant near the corner OF Kellogg
street and Topeka avenue The site Tor Inc
new plant has been secured and plans for

relating to it that are not settled. Within
short time, however, work on buildings for
the new plant will commence and it is hoped
to get in operation by The first OF next jan

suit from an increase in trade. The com

The power used in the present plant is fuis
nished by an engine Of fifteen horse power
supplied with steam from twenty horse
power boiler The plant makes two kinds of
vinegar, one from apples called cider vinegar,
and the other malt vinegar. The former is
made by the old French process. The COM
pany make of it about five barrels per day.
The malt vinegar is made from corn meal
and malt mixed After mixed it is placed in
